Jazz Chisholm Jr. now holds an all-time New York Yankees franchise record.
Would you have guessed that? Well, now you've got a cool bit of trivia.
The mark is this: Chisholm is the fastest player in the history of the Yankees franchise to reach 50-plus home runs and 50-plus stolen bases with the Yanks.
It took Chisholm 237 games to reach these totals, according to NY Yankees Stats.
Next closest was Rickey Henderson. He needed 280 games in a Yankees uniform to do it.
Alfonso Soriano didn't reach the 50-50 totals until 301 games for the Yankees.
Alex Rodriguez was also in the mix here, needing 325 games with the Yanks to do it.
Clearly, it's a multi-faceted skillset. Plenty of the historic Yankees sluggers have reached 50 home runs in a New York uniform faster than Chisholm.

There've also been speedsters in the history of this franchise, although seemingly fewer of them.
But believe it or not, no one has combined power and speed quite like Chisholm.
He is an ambitious fella, claiming he wanted to go 50-50 just this year. But in totality, it's clear Chisholm has an athletically potent skillset.
With this stat, and the accompanying record, Chisholm has proven that he brings a combination to pinstripes that few have ever had. He might have flaws, but he also has serious talent.
